Video game in which player sets control values

A method of setting a control value in a video game for causing a computer to make a video game progress on a screen based on a control value to be numerically set in a game progress process, comprising:

• sequentially displaying different numerical values repeatedly on said screen;
• comparing display timing of each numerical value to be displayed on said screen when displaying, with operation input timing by a player;
• and
• setting a numerical value displayed at displaying timing coinciding with said operation input timing as the control value based on a result of the comparison in said comparing step.

A game apparatus that causes a computer to make a video game progress on a screen based on a control value to be numerically set in a game progress process, comprising:

• a display system that sequentially displays different numerical values repeatedly on said screen;
• a comparing system that compares display timing of each numerical value to be displayed on said screen by said display system with operation input timing by a player;
• and
• a setting system that sets a numerical value displayed at displaying timing coinciding with said operation input timing as the control value based on a result of comparison by said comparing system.
